About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To live, love, laugh, dance, sing, eat, move, learn, do; grow. To go into the unknown. To be here now always and do good. Truth Beauty Mystery Awe

ABOUT ME

I'm a 21 year old student searching for beauty. Depending on when you catch me, I'll either be making music, dancing around with my friends, discussing philosophy over coffee or beer, or trying to figure out how to fix education. I value truth and beauty above all else and believe that every human being deserves compassion and respect. I'm exploring what it is to be alive and rediscovering the meaning of youth again and again and again. Life isn't about finding yourself, it's about creating yourself, and that's what I'm trying to do.

PHILOSOPHY

Life is Beautiful.
Be here now always and do
Good. That is the Tao.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I developed a synthetic antivenom for snake bites. It was really cool to carry something from the moment of inspiration to a finished product.

I was at Sonar in Barcelona a couple summers ago at a concert outside. The DJ was using a sample of birdsong in his set and was unintentionally singing to the birds. More and more of them gathered above us. I looked up and saw hundreds of birds soaring and wheeling above us, dancing around just like the humans below. The DJ was singing to them and they were singing back and we were all dancing together. Really beautiful.
